About the Webinar

IFSCC Members are always interested in a fresh global perspective. So we're featuring the presentation which won last year's "Top Presentation" award at the New Zealand SCC's Annual meeting.

​​​​​​​Richard Lawrence will discuss "Stability Testing: The Why's and What's and Other Questions Answered", beginning with the basic question "what is stability?"  Then he'll discuss the "why, what, when, and who" of this essential function in three different areas:

- physical and chemical integrity

- microbiological testing and

- packaging stability.
